Five Guys to open at Colonie Center

Five Guys, a hamburger restaurant with seven locations in the Capital Region, will open later this year at Colonie Center on Wolf Road, the mall’s management announced Wednesday.

The franchise is locally owned by TJ Hada and Savita Hada, who have seven other locations in the Capital Region.

Five Guys first opened in Arlington, Va. in 1986. Owners Janie and Jerry Murrell named the store “Five Guys” after their five sons. By last month, Five Guys had grown to 885 locations across 46 states and in Canada.

The restaurant will be located on the lower level near the Regal Cinemas entrance. Construction is due to begin shortly.
